Here’s everything required to make a full batch of Fresh Breath Pupsicles.
For the base:
- 1 cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup seedless cucumber, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 6–8 fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons coconut water (unsweetened)

- 2 tablespoons pumpkin purée
- 1 tablespoon finely shredded carrot

Instructions
Making Fresh Breath Pupsicles is a quick, no-cook process. Follow these steps for the best results.
Add the Greek yogurt, cucumber, parsley, mint leaves, coconut water, and peanut butter to a blender.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no visible chunks of cucumber or herbs remaining.
If using, stir in the blueberries, pumpkin purée, or shredded carrot after blending, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
Pour the mixture into silicone paw-print molds, bone-shaped molds, or ice cube trays.
Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles and help the treats freeze evenly.
Freeze for 4 to 6 hours, or until completely solid.
Remove the pupsicles from the molds and store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
Serve one frozen pupsicle as a refreshing treat on warm days. Always supervise your dog while enjoying frozen treats, and adjust serving size according to your dog’s size.
